Sara who runs the Center Valley Animal Rescue stopped by and needed a quick portrait (ya got 20 min) for her brothers wedding website that didn’t have animals or a motorcycle in it. Up went a black sheet and out came the lights. Beautiful young lady who laughs a lot and puts up with a few of us that tease her unmercifully. She is truly dedicated to saving animals of all kinds and the ranch is there solely to her dedication and hard work. Check out the info on her site at http://centervalleyanimalrescue.org/ . Special lady and doing a special job. Next time we do this I want time to do it the way she deserves, but these do show some of who she is inside.
Set this up and shot about 60 frames in about 20 min on a Sat. they stopped by on the way home from Costco. Simple set-up and shoot. The 85mm is perfect for the space I had and I like the way it works for this kind of portrait. Click the photos to link to flickr where I added the lighting info.
(Sara if you read the first paragraph I will deny writing it)
Sara looks great and her character shines through her lovely face. Something special about a woman who loves and takes care of animals. Great job on the fly!
Thanks I will be shooting for the ranch as well so will get a few more of the ‘typical Sara’.
Really good work there, 20 minutes is not a long time. The portraits are lovely and I especially find the first one captivating me, with its strong presence. It feels like being in the room.
